Here is the problem
Date: 7/10/40
KM Grid: AM 53
Time 8:00 a.m.
Weather: clear
Been working AM 53 and AM 52, I have 5 eels loaded and two topside that I can't access cause of the sea state.
Radio report earlier has a large convoy coming SE towards me.
I am in front at periscope depth, let the first flower class pass to port.
What before my wondering eye should appear, but two Granvilles and a hugh tanker almost dead ahead at 2500m.
Scaning quickly two rows over is a Nelson class BB.
I choose the two granvilles and the tanker for my four bow tubes. Sank one granville and the tanker. Missed the other and missed with a rushed stern shot at a small merchant.
Would you have gone for the Nelson?
